FAR BEYOND THE GAY VILLAGE: LGBTQ URBANISM AND GENERATN MONTRéAL’S MILE END

From Paris to Sydney, rearch over the past s shows a cle, -gayg, displacement and disintifitn wh gay villag throughout the urban Wt (Brown 2014; Colls 2004; Colls and Drkwater 2017; Doan and Higgs 2011; Ghaziani 2014; Gird 2014; Gorman-Murray and Nash 2017; Nash and Gorman-Murray 2014; Rutg 2008). Qualative se studi tail the varied plac the LGBTQ urban archipelago through the place-based specifici of outer boroughs such as New York Cy’s Queens or Brooklyn (Giekg 2016; Martez 2015), Sydney, Atralia’s New Town ner suburb (Gorman-Murray and Wat 2009) and alternative ner-cy areas such as London, England’s “smopolan post-gay Spalfields” (Brown 2006), or  Toronto, Canada’s Parkdale neighbourhood (Nash 2013a, b). Gorman-Murray and Wat (2009) characterize such alternativ to the gay village as “queer-iendly” neighbourhoods, areas where a queer prence, while not domant, is apparent and wele.

It is argued that queer subcultural districts such as Mile End reprent a spatial shift far beyond the gay village: ls a diffe dispersal of LGBTQ rints om gay villag, they are formed through a generatnal rejectn of tablished versns of LGBTQ urbanism—subcultural ials regardg the relatnship between sexual and genr inty and s exprsn urban space.

GAY VILLAGE, MONTRéAL REAL ESTATE LISTGS

The generatnal shifts unrstandgs of LGBTQ inty, muny and neighbourhood potentially offer sight to the greyg of gay villag (Bterman and Hs 2016) as some young adult subcultur “disintify” wh gay village spac and explicly create and promote alternativ (Nash 2013a, b). Applied to urbanism, this hab rejects the rabow flag mercial visibily and genr bary fns of sexualy the gay village while promotg a subterranean queer ial that valu anti-normative genr and sexual inti, muny cln and urban diversy. The terviews were nducted by a team of four LGBTQ-intified graduate stunts (two trans-men, one queer woman and one gay man) who veloped the sample through their personal works.

The terviews addrsed their inti, migratn trajectori and neighbourhood histori; perceptns of other LGBTQ generatns, Montréal LGBTQ scen and neighbourhoods; and experienc of the gay village and Mile End neighbourhoods. Snowball samplg migated problems of recg a younger “hidn” subculture for the primary rearcher (aged 47 years 2013) (Browne 2005), but the “double sir stat” of the field rearchers produced a remarkably homogeneo sample (Adriansen and Madsen 2009) terms of social class, language, “race”, occupatn and natnaly.

They’d rather ll themselv gay, you know, bisexual, lbian… Some of them do have a lot of queer polics, but don’t have the words for . This sectn par queer Mile Enrs’ perceptns of the gay village and Mile End to further unrstand how this generatnal subculture is nstcted relatnally urban space by opposg two typ of LGBTQ urbanism: (1) the fixed, genr-bound and visible inti the Village; and (2) the fluid and sendary sexual and genr inti that are celebrated wh the amework of neighbourhood diversy Mile End. It began to velop as both a gayborhood the early 1980s and, by the mid-1990s, was promoted as such by var levels of ernment and the media (Hrichs 2011).

Olr generatns, 40s and 50s, that’s the backbone of the Village, not the young generatn” (Kyle, Anglophone, man, gay, 29 years).

As Marie-Claire observed, the Village belongs to “… people who intify as gay, female or male, people who intify as beg ‘born this way’” (Marie-Claire, Franphone, woman, queer/lbian, 30 years).
